Dickson County native and Tennessee punter Trevor Daniel has already gotten off to a strong start for his senior year.

Daniel was named the Ray Guy Punter of the Week for week one of the college football season for his efforts in the Vols 42-41 victory against Georgia Tech Monday night in the Chick-Fil-A kickoff game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

The senior had six punts on the night, averaging 47 yards per punt. His punts pinned the Yellow Jackets inside the 20-yard line five times. He also drilled a 70-yard punt in the second quarter, tying his career-best.

Daniel was named to the Ray Guy preseason watchlist and is a preseason All-SEC third team selection.
